The following images were taken by Adrienne of Pink Kitty Studios in Colorado Springs, Co. Adrienne is an incredibly skilled photographer with an exceptional eye for pinup and retro-styled posing. She can coax out the most difficult positioning from her models and make it appear as though the resulting picture was effortless. She is very highly recommended, as are all of the Pink Kitty locations.

A delightful photographer, and a hell of a pastie creator, Cookie Fortune has a knack for vibrant color photography. Her photo sessions are always full of fun and laughter, and she has a knack for bringing out the playful side of her subjects.

This is a wonderful shot captured at the Mark Pardo Aveda Hair Fashion Show, a benefit for the Make A Wish Foundation held at the Hard Rock Casino just south of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Unfortunately, the photographers name is currently among the missing. if you have information on the event photographer for that particular show, we would be very grateful to receive it, thus properly crediting this stunning shot.

Angela Kane shot this series of photos during the Colorado Burlesque fest, which ran July 7-10, 2011. The photos are rich with color, and capture the whirling motion of burlesque with ease. I hope to see a lot more of Angela at burlesque shows in the future! Look her up online at Kane Photography...find her, friend her, love her!
